For this image I used distress markers and Tim Holtz method of wet water coloring.: Stamp image with archival ink onto watercolor paper. Lightly dampened the area I was going to immediately paint (wetting the paper helps the ink to move within that specific area). Picked-up marker ink scribbled onto the craft sheet with the lightly damp waterbrush and then color. Add additional colors on top as desired or blend colors in some areas and leave some areas with loosely uneven or color outside the lines . This is the process Tim demonstrates to share wet water coloring. Thanks for looking!...Jan

This is very pretty! I like the way the wings have two colors and I also like how you highlighted the words in the image. Thanks for coloring with me!

Too funny, I was just thinking of using this stamp in an upcoming card myself. I love how you used distress markers for colouring. Absolutely stunning!
